    What do you want from your tires? Durability? Wet performance? High speed? 89 1/2 degree lean angles?

    There really is no perfect tire. Every rider has different performance needs, and different tires meet them...but no one tire neccessarily meets all of them. You may have to pick the best of the characteristics from several tires..

    Your life depends totally, utterly, literally, and absolutely on your tires, so before you waste time waiting for responses, describe how and what you drive, what you want, and what you need.

        I ride, therefore I am.... constantly buying new tires.

          I doubt the problem is the tires. A skilled rider can take a bike through the twisties at speed you would not believe with and do it with very worn tires. You said it yourself, you took a spill because you did not set up for the turn correctly. Riding is kind of like playing golf. Anyone can learn to play golf. Playing it well is quite another matter. :-) Takes time, lots of time.

            Ice,
            Tell us what kind of bike you have, year and model. What's most important, price? handling? mileage? wet road grip? dry road grip? Once you us that info you're sure to get about five different suggestions on what to buy. Heck, some of those suggestions might even agree.
